Thoughts on Kerwin Bell as OC?

Just wanted to make a thread about this on our home board. It has been discussed a ton on a few other Gator boards, and it was only a matter of time until it was brought here.

Personally, I have never been a huge Bell fan, but IMO this hire is almost a necessity for Muschamp. Bell's offenses have been really good wherever he has been, and his scheme is very vertical, but multiple. I am done with the whole needing to "prove" yourself at a high level after Weis and Pease, then seeing what Malzahn, Freeze, and Morris have accomplished after being removed from the HS ranks.

This hire would do just what Muschamp needs IMO. Bring excitement to Gator Nation, an OC that is multiple and balanced, and also someone who can develop QB's. It is a win/win to me.

All homerism aside, I think the one thing that would suffer right away from this hire would be recruiting of top level receivers and RBs. Why come to a program with an unproven OC when you could go to elsewhere and shine.

I played at Trinity my first year in high school

We had 2 black kids that year in the school

I went back three years later, there are gang signs spray painted on cars in the parking lot. I went to the middle school connected with Trinity before that(Blessed Trinity) and we had almost no black students. Iggy. We had Iggy in my 8th grade..that was all.

yet the high school that couldn't score a TD it's first year was suddenly a state power, and had 20 percent african american's in the school, almost every one played sports.

Which of course, leads to the obvious conclusion if you are from Ocala and know the area...the coaches at Trinity paid to get these guys. Trust me. I went to the church, for 8 years. I went to the school for four. There are almost no black members. The school was also expensive if you didn't go to the church and have financial backing from father pat.

So if he is cheating in high school...that is not a good start. Yes I know they cheated btw..Ocala is a small town. You hear enough to know what's going on.

I don't know about other high schools really. But I know in the Ocala area, no one else but Trinity was thought to have been cheating. I mean they went from worst to first in two years. And the population change that hadn't happened since the church and school founded all in that two years time was...alarming. But then again the rich in Ocala were at Trinity. School had serious money to deal with...great place to sell coke too my no longer friend found out lol.
